What is the Lambeth ECT Induction Pool?

Getting your first teaching position as a new teacher can be time consuming, confusing and even daunting.

Recognising that, and seeking to simplify the process for ECTs, Teach Lambeth have
developed a new and innovative type of Induction pool.

All applicants seeking to find an ECT position in the Borough of Lambeth must apply
through the Induction pool and all applicants are added to the pool - there is no pre-screening or pre-interview process.

We believe that is the fairest approach for all applicants - every school in Lambeth can then have access to all the applicants who have joined the Induction talent pool where they can view
applications, shortlist candidates and then invite for interview and school tours - all through the
online Induction pool.

Of course, this means that applicants to the Induction pool are not guaranteed a teaching position in Lambeth, but being in the pool gives you better access to ECT positions in all the schools throughout the borough.

As ECT teaching positions become available, Lambeth schools will consult the Induction pool database and you will be contacted about those positions that are most suitable for you.

If you wish to apply to our Induction Pool, the application process is very simple - you can upload your details by completing a full Induction Pool submission so that schools can look for applicants like you and then approach you directly through the pool and this site. You can also search and apply for posts and keep up to date with regular job alerts.

There are two stages to the Induction Pool application - firstly, you register your interest and will be sent a pdf of information and some follow-up emails as well as creating a Teach Lambeth profile and access to the full jobs dashboard and then, secondly, you submit a full application to the Induction Pool.

Once you have completed the first step, you have a profile on the Teach Lambeth website and
access to your jobs dashboard where you can search for and apply for jobs using your profile, even before completing your full Induction Pool submission.
